Following the lead of the Tony's, the Drama Desk has also withdrawn its nomination for Santo Loquasto's costumes for the revival of Ragtime on Broadway. Both felt the designs were too close to the original costumes for the Broadway premiere of Ragtime, which Loquasto also designed.. and for which he won a Tony!

For the Ragtime revival, Derek McLane was nominated for set design, and Acme Sound Partners for sound design; the production was also nominated for best revival of a musical. The original production was also nominated in 1998 but lost to The Lion King.
